When did it happen? I do not recall Thrilled at how intertwined our lives had become in the short time we had been together Thinking of myself less and less Putting you always front and center It made me happy to do things for you and you basked in the sunshine of my giving
One day I realized I no longer saw my friends Making excuses to my family why I couldn’t see them Noticing how others no longer addressed me Everything was directed to you instead I had become insignificant, isolated It was as if I had disappeared into the wallpaper Unseen, unheard, living in your shadow This was your plan from the beginning
